New Delhi (thestates.news)| Jack Dorsey, Co-Founder of Twitter and current serving CEO of Block Inc., revealed a peer-to-peer messaging app named “Bitchat”. This app will also run without internet connectivity or in offline mode. Unlike its rivals, including Meta’s WhatsApp and Messenger, which need internet connectivity and central servers to function smoothly, Bitchat functionality is entirely based on Bluetooth Mesh Networks or Bluetooth Mesh. These networks create a room for many-to-many communication between numerous BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices.
Dorsey’s Bitchat is a peer-to-peer messaging app that allows for ephemeral and encrypted communication between nearby devices. This app enables users to reach beyond standard range even in situations when Wi-Fi or Cell Service were unavailable.Moreover, Bitchat is specifically designed to remain smoothly working in situations when the internet is blocked, offering a unique way to disseminate information during outages or shutdowns.
Reportedly, the future update of the BLE-based app Bitchat will add direct Wi-Fi to this app to take Jack Dorsey’s vision of off-grid communication to a further step. (UNI)
